Hi,

Noob here but I will try to be conscise and clear.

Can't seem to get Knoppix STD 1.0 to boot on any of my two laptops, or my desktop. I actually created two different disks of knoppix-STD from two different mirrors and verified the MD5 on both. I was able to get it to boot in Vmware6 from my desktop but my laptops don't support vmware and I really don't want to go that route anyway.

The error on all systems seems to be the same "Can't find KNOPPIX filesystem, sorry. Dropping you to a (very limited) shell.

I tried several different options such as
knoppix failsafe
knoppix boot=/dev/sr0 (I figured this out after creating a knoppix adriane disk and which does boot from laptop)
knoppix nodma

I was wondering if anyone has an idea on what else I might try to get disk to work?

What is the command used that will display the boot messages as Knoppix boots? It seems like a message fly's by before returning this error message.

What kernel the knoppix-STD use?

Thanks
